Our advanced factories score aggregates six components defined with our partners2
:
- Flexibility: the ability to switch from a product to another, enabling made-to-order
manufacturing,
- Digitalization: the introduction of technologies such as IoT, robotics, automation,
- Energy efficiency: every measure taken to lower energy consumption compared with usual
norms,
- Social efforts: measures undertaken for operations, through working conditions, health and
safety concern, training, education and wages…,
- Territorial efforts: decisions aiming at improving the relations between a production site and
local communities and stakeholders, such as favoring local suppliers, funding schools,
contributing to local social projects…,
- Environmental efforts: reducing carbon footprint and pollution, water preservation…
Each criterion is ranked 0 (no mention in the news describing the investment), 1 (some measures
described) or 2 (quantitative objectives defined for the criterion considered or insistence on it).
Adding those 0-2 scores over six criteria gives a total Industry of the Future score wich varies from
0 to 12.
